Story 21. Genghis Khan’s homecounty is “Abnog River Mountain (鴨綠江山)”

Up until now, the author, Dr. Kwon, has been tracing the ancestors of Genghis Khan.       By unraveling the hidden and difficult contents of <Secret History of the Mongols> and <Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國, Four Khan Countries>, especially <The Golden Book> of Genghis Khan and his 5th generation descendant Amir Timur’s family, he has revealed who the legendary ancestors of the world conqueror Genghis Khan, “Kiyan” and “Nekuz” were, and who Kiyan’s father, “Il Khan (El Kon)”, and “Tinggis Khan (Tenggis Kon)” were. This is a summary of the main points of the author, Dr. Kwon’s historical masterpiece, <Goguryeo-Balhae Genghis Khan I>.

Episode 1. Goguryeo-Balhae people, Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan's ancestor, "Kiyan", was the Balhae Dynasty's "Gan (澗)", his father "Ilha (壹夏)", and his grandfather "Yabal (野勃)". The term "Kiyat tribe" refers to the "Geol (乞氏)", a Balhae-Malgal Idu lettering surname of the Dae (大氏) family, a pure Goguryeo-Malgal surname. It is the "Keul (大)" family. This "Keul" is written in Chinese characters as "乞 (Geol)", and the sound of this is read as the sound of the southern Chinese dialect of the Yuan Dynasty, the "Manji (蠻子, southern Orangke)" dialect, which is the "Kiyat" family. Also, Dae Jo-yeong's younger brother Yabal's son Ilha is "Il Han", and Ilha's son is "Kiyan (澗)". Nekuzu was the eldest son of Daemuye, the son of Dolihaeng (都利行). The Dolihaeng clan is the “Darlakin.”

Also, the legendary Tatar-Mongol (Mogol) war was actually the Balhae-Tang war of 732 year, and the legendary home of all Mongols, “Arghana Kun,” was the “Amnog River Nagun” nicknamed “the Western Capital of Balhae.”

The “Tatar tribe” that caused this war was the Gaesomun clan “for generations.” The “eight great khans of Tatar” refer to the eight great khans and husbands of the sixth generation from Yan Ziyou , the grandfather of Gaesomun. The eldest son of Gaesomun, the grandson of GaeNamsaeng, who fled to Tang, was Gae Boksun, or Gal Boksun, and was the "8th Tatar Khan Suyunji" in the "Great Tatar-Mogol War" in question. 

However, the Tatar and Mogol, or Daedae-ro and Malgal lineages, came from the same grandfather, Alanja Khan (乙支文, Eulji Khan), 5 generations above Daejoyeong and 3 generations above Gaesomun, and their ancient ancestor was Jumong (朱蒙), the founder of Goguryeo. Malgal and Goguryeo were one family.

Among them, Kiyan (Gan), the grandson of Daeyabal, was the 17th generation ancestor of the "world conqueror" Genghis Khan, and he was a descendant of the royal family of Goguryeo-Balhae. Genghis Khan is the 19th descendant of Daeyabal, also known as “Tinggis Khan (震國Jinguk Khan)”, who was the younger brother of the second king,Dae Mue, of the Balhae Dynasty

Episode 2. World Conqueror Genghis Khan

It has been 860 years since Genghis Khan (1162-1227), the 19th descendant of Daeyabal, the King of Banan (震國王) of the Goguryeo-Malgal royal family, was born, but the “Four khan Kingdoms (四汗國)” he and his sons founded continued until the early 20th century, including Russia, where the Mongols ruled the entire land for more than 200 years, and has left a deep mark on today’s world map.

Genghis Khan is the figure of the century who swept the world’s people across the continents of Asia, Europe, the Arab world, and North Africa with anxiety and fear, and sometimes with a whirlwind of joy and delight.

Ala-uddit Jubeini (1226-1283), a Persian historian born a year before Genghis Khan died, wrote <The History of the World Conquerors by Jubeini>. He visited Karakorum (Kara-Gurun, Goryeo-Gurlu, Goryeo Castle and ‘Goryeo State’) in Mongolia in 1252-1253, 25-26 years after Genghis Khan’s death. At that time, he was so inspired by this journey that he began to write a record of Genghis Khan and his clan, the leader of all Mongols, using all the information he saw, heard, and gathered along the way. He was the son of Baha ad-Din, a Persian who served as the finance minister of Agathe Khan, and he was a historian who witnessed the unbelievable grandeur of the Mongol Empire unfolding before his eyes. At that time, he described Genghis Khan in his book with a single title that no emperor who has achieved great feats in human history has ever had.

 “He was called a ‘world conqueror’.”

More important than Genghis Khan’s extensive conquests of the world, he and his family, including his sons and grandsons, had a huge influence on the existence of the world today. However, we wonder if it is right to judge him only as a conqueror who conquered the world. That is why there is a reason to look at the book <Genghis Khan and the Making Modern World> by Jack Weatherford, an American who has been translated into 26 languages ​​and sold millions of copies.

“Genghis Khan’s empire connected and blended many civilizations around him into a New World order. At the time of his birth in 1162, the Old World was a single chain of regional civilizations that could not claim any direction for any civilization beyond their immediate neighbors. No one in China had ever heard of Europe, no one in Europe had ever heard of China, and so far as was known, no one had ever travelled from one to the other.

By the time of his death in 1227, he had linked civilizations together by a network of diplomacy and trade that remains unbroken today…..He had created international law, and had acknowledged the ultimate and supreme law of the eternal blue sky that reigns over all peoples….The Mongols swept across the globe not only as conquerors but also as unprecedented cultural transmitters of civilization…

As the English scientist Roger Bacon observed in the 13th century, the Mongols were not successful simply because of their military superiority, but rather ‘they succeeded through science.’ Although the Mongols were ‘full of war,’ they were very advanced because they ‘invested their leisure in philosophical principles.’

But Weatherford also introduced the view that the Mongols were ‘what the rest of the world today regards as the quintessence of bloodthirsty barbarians.’ In the process, he poured out praise for the numerous and enormous achievements of the Genghis Khan family. His evaluation of Genghis Khan can be summed up in one word: “the man who created the modern world.”

His achievements are great, but these are based on the prejudice that Genghis Khan and “they are a bunch of barbarians who ride horses and enjoy blood.”

It is judged that this is due to their ignorance that they did not know that Genghis Khan, his tribe, and his descendants were the descendants of the ruling people that ruled East Asia for 900 years before Genghis Khan as the empires of Goguryeo-Balhae and that they were superior civilized people who were descendants of the royal family that acquired and maintained all history and culture.

Numerous scholars and intellectuals had little interest in the roots and background that made Genghis Khan who he was, and even if they had, they had not approached the historical approach of the time, language, and literature, so they had filled it with mere storybooks. They were not “barbarians who rode horses,” but descendants of the Goguryeo-Malgal empire that created great figures and made history.
